One of the things we have been loving this summer is our indoor hammock. I actually bought this hammock over two years ago and have been patiently waiting to put it up, and at the beginning of Summer, Ben finally got it up. I debated putting it up outside, but an indoor one just sounded kind of dreamy and so inside it went!

The girls absolutely love it! Most afternoons you will find one (or two) of them swinging back and forth. Sometimes it’s with a book in hand and sometimes not. When evenings come and the girls are in bed, I like to have my turn in the hammock and just relax. There is a couch across from it, so sometimes Ben will sit there and we’ll chat. One night, our power went out for a few hours, so I just opened up the windows, lit some candles, and quietly read while lying in the hammock. It was such a peaceful evening. Those types of evenings need to happen here more often.

It hangs from a very sturdy clasp and chain that are hooked onto some really sturdy eye bolts. Ben found the stud in the wall and that’s where the eye bolts went in. It is very secure and as long as it is being used properly, there are no problems. My only qualm is that the hanging fringe comes off easily, so I am always having to crochet it back on. Other than that, it’s a pretty dreamy place to relax and it’s one of our new favorite spots in the house.

Our indoor hammock is a spot in our house that definitely makes us smile. What spot in your home makes you smile?

i really really love that hammock! If I had one of those inside (or outside) my house, I will never ever get up. EVER. I will just lay there all day reading…esp. now that I’ve discovered how easy it is to buy kindle books.

I don’t really have a smiling spot in our home because we have a tiny 2 bdrm duplex home and not much furniature or decorations at all. I’m a minimalist that makes that even worse. When I look around I want less. Your house looks so pretty and I love the colors and the small things that look lovely and not cluttery. I think I have a weird sense with that stuff because my parents are clutter freaks and I hate hate hate it and they’ve never rid of anything since they moved there in 1973. :: sigh ::
Anyway I love the indoor hammock. I think it is unique and comfy and so sweet to see the girls hanging out on it together!

This is awesome! We’ve been stuck on needing a new couch for our front room which is quite small and a lot of convention furniture just isn’t us or will fit the space. I think this may be exactly what we need to do. Etsy here I come.

It is, but I don’t recommend getting a hammock from them. I have had a few readers purchase one from them, but never received it, and it took a really long time for Almanza to reply back. Apparently, they had terrible customer service.

The Christmas sweets, which I like to call "chocolate crispies," are officially packaged and ready to giveaway. Though I think I ought to make a bunch more because I am short a few on my list. I guess it isn't really good that I go "one for this box and then 2 for me." Yeah, not so much. I guess I will make more today.
